Smoked Salmon Dip
This dip is a wonderful addition to any party or get-together because it is not only delicious but also sophisticated. You will never use those store-bought containers again after trying this dip.
I love salmon and in this recipe, I am using cold smoked salmon. This type of salmon is cured in salt for a few days to remove moisture and then smoked at or below 80°F. The smoking process cures the fish instead of cooking it, making it raw food. However, it’s important to note that pregnant women and individuals with weakened immune systems should stick to Hot smoked salmon for safety reasons.
This delectable smoked salmon dip is the perfect solution for any occasion. It can be paired with crackers and cocktails at a fancy dinner or at a casual brunch buffet with bagel chips.
For an extra crunch, consider serving it alongside fresh veggies like carrots and cucumbers. This dish is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
